The Electronic Frontier Foundation, or EFF, is a non-profit organization that advocates for users' digital rights. EFF's main focus is in the topics of privacy, "free use" rights, free speech, and government transparency.

For mobile mail you might want to add K9. Its an open source client you can add to your android device to get away from the built in mail/gmail apps.

*EDIT*removed suggestion about mail.com. Just went back and re-read their privacy policy. they have a nice little chunk in there that says they can monitor your account at their discretion. deleted that account immediately and moved to zoho. will test that out.

StayInvisible.com - Online privacy test to analyze what does your browser reveal to websites, in addition to your IP address. Allows to check your default Internet connection and connections protected with "hide my IP" services like proxy or VPN - often with shocking results. Modern web browsers provide a user with a lot of features but they have also been designed to reveal your IP address and tons of other "innocent looking" information to websites. A collection of such information can be used to compile browser fingerprints that according to the EFF study are unique, identifiable and can be easily used for online tracking. Cryptomat.com Encrypt or decrypt any text messages online using the industry-standard AES algorithm. This tool operates strictly in-browser, without sending your entered data to the server.

Yes I see! Very privacy-centric shoes! Which category? "Privacy-minded shoes"?

This post is for services which are alternatives to popular services which track you.

These shoes (or any shoe at any rate), don't have anything particularly privacy-oriented about them. You may be suggesting this because it is safe and secure and is not a scam, and uses SSL, but almost all online shoe-shopping site (which are not scams) could apply. And this list would become very, very long, (mark my words).

Both are current mainstream cutting edge for their respective kinds of encryption, and in this client they're built into core, not as add-ons, so they should be there in future - not reliant on outdated add-ons.

Not a fanboi but I like good software. Ticks every IM box for me, including as a full-function Skype replacer, especially as that program's now MS owned and US operated, and judging by coverage, privacy breaching, logged or tappable. (Note - replacer means - it's not the same protocol, the skype protocol is proprietary and nobody else runs a FOSS version that I can find, nor is it obvious whether it's at all trustworthy. This is far better if people want to switch to it.)

Since autistici.org hosts a bunch of different services, i think it would be fitting to put it in a "miscellaneous" category ... but then again it might be a little vague or misleading (miscellaneous could refer to just a bunch of disparate softwares gathered in the same category), then maybe "hub" would do ...

You've already featured riseup.net in the webmail category and as far as noblogs.org goes, something like "networking" maybe, might not be the most appropriate but the other one i had was "social" and that might be worst lol ('blogware" might do too since it seems to be a more official way of naming blogging services like blogger or wordpress).

You can add Tor Project Bundle (Open Source Project - a kind of browser) which was originally launched for US navy only and now available publicly for every one. Here is the link for Tor Project www.torproject.org

Sub Rosa Secure Email at https://novo-ordo.com is about as secure as traditional email can get. Off shore, encrypted links, encrypted storage, etc. They also a lot of privacy related information on their site.
